The Mike Pence 'So help me God' book is finally finished. The prose style - which is of the upset no one variety - did not make for easy reading. Best described as a late and unconvincing 'mea culpa'. Written with an eye on 2024 ? Did you know that there are more Baptists in Ukraine than in any country apart from the US ?
Nippy but dry this morning. Sophie loves a trip to the beach. She skips with delight as she heads over the dunes. Every morning ( or those days when Scottish weather conditions allow us to see the sky ) dog and human stand by the sea and watch the sun pop its head above the eastern horizon. This far north we have to wait until nearly eight to see this spectacle. In summer , when it struggles to get dark, it all happens a good four hours earlier. For a few seconds the towers of the old town think they're Florence and glow salmon pink and gold in the sun. This always makes me smile. PONettes know every day should start with watching the sunrise - a wee bit of awe and wonder is never out of place in a divas busy life.

Just wonderful beach photos. I am waiting for the day when Nobby gets bored of playing with another dog. It is always the other dog who eventually tires of being bounced on by a still very puppyish eleven month old fox terrier.
That avalanche footage is amazing and terrifying. It really did look like the photographer was about to be engulfed.
And finally - did you know that there are more Presbyterians in South Korea than in Scotland?

Oh, that first photo of Sophie is worthy of framing! As for that avalanche, at first, one wondered that one could take place where the snow was only up top; then one wondered just how much snow could there be tucked up there? Then it became apparent - and shocking. Quite some footage, indeed. YAM xx
The sun, the sand, the sea ....the Sophie playing with a pup. I bet it was joyous.
Is Pence finished? Hopefully the R party realizes they need to change directions, I just don't know as he is the direction. We love the walks on the beach, thanks for taking us along.
Did you use Pence's book as a sleeping aid?
The beach photos, as always, make me long for the east coast of Canada...my old stomping grounds. Beaches are a dog's paradise.
The avalanche footage is unbelievable. Had I been behind the camera, I would have started running a lot sooner and shouted things far less appropriate than "Dear God".
The sun, sand, sea, and a happy Sophie. Life is good.
Upon seeing that first shot of Sophie, the Chariots of Fire theme popped into my head! The avalanche footage is mesmerizing to watch - on a computer, miles away!
What could be more perfect than a stroll along a fresh-washed beach at sunrise? Lucky Sophie and lucky Angus.
"Chariots of Fire" was shown on TV over Christmas, and I caught the last five minutes, but thought of you and Sophie when the credits finished with the run along the beach!
The avalanche was truly terrifying as it came nearer and nearer. If you read one of the comments below the video, the photographer was killed, the phone was found and the contents downloaded.
I used Google to find out what happened to the man who filmed this. His name was Harry Shimmin and he survived. Members of his hiking group received minor injuries.
We never appreciated until today that Sophie is black on one side and white on the other. That is some avalanche!
